I am very careful about fire but I think it would be very hard to burn your barn down in this weather. I am still working on ice storm limbs that I never did get cleaned up in the field. |

I think you're right Helen. Good time to burn. This winter will make it three years since the ice storm and I'm sure you're not the only one still cleaning up. With the leaves falling off the trees now, it's a sad reminder off all the damage we had. Some of the trees still look just awful. Maybe they will never get their shape back. We have a couple of hedge stumps that we never pulled out. I've been fighting the thorny sprouts that won't stop growing back. |
christie, I don't know if you are 100% organic, but if not, I have good luck cutting sprouts or saplings and painting the cut stubs with plain diesel. I have killed elm, and hedge both. Just don't pour a lot that seeps into the ground. |

Not yet. The main reason I got it was for the hotels. They have a lot of overseas properties and when I'm back in the states I drive all over the west. Have you seen how many Holiday Inn branded hotels are along interstates?
Edit: APR is the max, 15.24%, the BT won't show me the offer yet, it says I don't have enough available credit. I take this to mean I don't actually have an activated card yet.

As a novice to beer, and growing up in a house that was only ever stocked with Bud Light, I'm an extreme novice in what type of beer is what. I found this today, I'm sure many have seen it or parts of it. It's the BJCP Style Guidelines for judging beer. (right click, save .pdf file) I also found that this info is in the HBT Wiki page, I'm not sure if the Wiki has been updated with the 2008 revisions though. If you haven't seen it, there is some great info there, that I found very helpful. Hope you will to. I especially like the Commercial Examples listing for each style, very nice. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, the first is a good find. Saved to my desktop. Thanks!
All of you beginners will probably grow to have a sort of love/hate relationship with the guidelines. Sometimes they can be really helpful, others they can seem to hold you back. The key is to figure out what you like, and brew it, regardless of what the guidelines say. They are a good jumping off point, and a necessity if you plan on competing with your homebrew, but don't be afraid to color outside the lines.
Yeah, the BJCP Style Guidelines is my Bible. I'm not worried about following them but they are a great reference to learn for yourself.
Very cool, thanks for adding this info! I think BarleyWater is right about coloring "outside the lines", especially if you enjoy experimenting. But this info is really good to use as a benchmark to compare your first brew(s) against to see how you are doing. Also, if you want to compete then it is good to have a reference to make sure your brews are within the guidlines (color, aroma, etc.) that the judges expect to encounter. -Tripod
Thanks, this document really helped answer my question

Martha Stewart is looking for love, and she's doing it online.
During an appearance Monday on the "Today" show, the 71-year-old mogul agreed to join the online dating world and set up a profile on Match.com, with the help of the company's chief executive Sam Yagan.
"I'd like to have breakfast with somebody," Stewart said. "I'd like to go to bed with somebody. Sleep with somebody."
In an interview taped earlier, Stewart admitted she had been considering online dating but did not get very far on her Match.com profile.
"I started to laugh halfway down the page. It was, like, impossible," she recalled. But she did fill out the section detailing what kind of guy she was looking for.
"I put out 'youngish'" she told "Today" co-host Matt Lauer of her earlier profile attempt, adding that she wants someone "active" but did not specify an age range. "Energetic, outdoor-ish, really smart. Tall-ish."
Stewart was willing to sign up with her real name and photo, but Yagan advised against it.
"Only because I think it would be distracting to those initial conversations you have where everyone is going to be about talking to Martha, as opposed to really getting to know the person first," he explained.
Stewart described herself as "curious, intelligent, entrepreneurial, hardworking, fun, adventurous," according to Jezebel, which went looking on Match.com and found what it believes to be her profile.
If that profile is indeed Stewart's, her interests are "Cooking, Dining out, Fishing/Hunting, Gardening/Landscaping, Movies/Videos, Museums and art, Shopping/Antiques, Traveling Sightseeing," her political views are listed as "Very Liberal" and her pets include dogs, cats, birds and horses.

HAIL TO THE TRANNY WORKING AT JACK IN THE BOX...take my first born!!
1. If I were straight (thank bejeezus I am not...sorry breeders, just the truth), I would give this woman my first born baby (although I can try to get pregnant, I cannot...and i've come to terms with that).
2. If i were to take a bullet for anybody, i would be her human shield.
3. From this point forward, i fully endorse cloning so that i can have multiple clones of her.
I am not one to complain about having a shitty day as i am sure there are some people out there whose shitty days are far worse than mine, like the homeless woman who just pissed her pants...yeah.
when i feel as though the entire world is against me, i make my pilgrimage (on hands and knees) to Jack in the Box to basque in the presence of the all mighty herself.....the tranny. Her cup overfloweth with warmth and kindness and i feel my inner child again....subsequently after i eat an ultimate cheesburger with curly fries. but that is besides the point.
granted, i love the bay area for its multicultural aspect. what i fucking hate the most about it is that i cannot fucking understand one fucking thing said over the telephone or through a speaker when trying to talk to an indian or mexican who recently immigrated. I am not a bigot or a racist person, but at the end the the goddam day, i just want to drive up to Jack in the Crack and order my meal with as few words as possible, pay, and stuff it down my gullet. This proves to be one the worst part of my day. I'd rather have a pidgeon shit on my face than have to order at Jack in the Box without the tranny workingm, and i'll explain why.
So here is the order of events upon ordering without the tranny being there. I will have to use the workers words spelled phonetically so you understand what i am dealing with:
Him: wecom to hack in da box, can i take your odor?
Me: (i usually ignore their welcome msg b/c i don't care to hear it) can i get a #6 plain, medium sized, with a lemonade to drink? And that is it.
Him: ?que?
Me: (trying to be as clear as possible) #6, plain, medium size, lemonade to drink. that is it.
Him: what to drink?
Me: l-e-m-o-n-a-d-e
Him: ?que?
Me: leeeeeeemonaadeeee!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Him: ?que?
Me: (since i know a bit of spanish) jugo de limon!
Him: oh i see, lemonade.
Me: *shot gun blast to the head
Him: so you want #5?
Me: numero seis!!!!
Him: oh, si si. $5.72.
Me: *i am giving him the best death eyes i can muster. i want him dead!!! I'd like the nutsack of a homeless man to get my order right.
So i go through this same fucking process each damn time. i am barely hanging on by a thread some days and to have to deal with this bastard because he skipped some ESL classes....i can't take it!!. Now i am sure that he skipped them because he is barely making enough money to support himself, but he should see his classes as a fucking investment that would help him get out of the shit hole that is Jack in the Box.
Side note: while writing this, i have been taking breaks watching two squirrels fuck. they fucking mock me!!! yet i still watch. back to writting....
one day i pulled in, i see the speaker that i order into, and being conditioned to the stress response, my blood pressure builds and my eyes dialate and i tense up so tight that you couldn't even stick you pinky in my asshole. i begin to order making sure that ennunciate every single letter and leave nothing to chance. then, as if jesus himself shown his light upon me, the voice of an angel came out from the speaker asking me if i wanted anything else with my order. i nearly shit myself, and my nipples went ragging hard at the thought of not having to go inside and make the fucking hamburger myself.
So i drive up to the window and the tranny has her hair up in a clip, nice smooth makeup, and a wonderful smile on her face. she is also mexican...and thank god for her ability to speak english without a thick ass accent that i cannot understand her. she is amazing. brilliant. she has my order ready to hand to me and my drink with a straw in hand. and did i say that she does all of this with a smile.....BLESS THE HEAVENS FOR HER.
I think i cried a tear of joy when upon my first bite. even if i had the worst fucking day, i know that she can make it all better. if i see that she is not working when i drive up i immediately leave because i know that they will have some moron working in her place. i would rather starve than try and order when she is not working.

Prenatal attack on women. Primal and ultimate discrimination against daughters: Amniocentesis is a uterine test that can be used to determine the sex of an unborn child; misused in India, it has led to the aborting of female fetuses in a society that values males more than females. SEX-SELECTIVE ABORTIONS.
Usha Parekh had four daughters - and she was desperate for a son. Desperate, but afraid.
Afraid that her husband might abandon her, afraid of the constant insults of her mother-in-law, afraid of the taunts of other relatives.
``When I became pregnant again, I came near the breaking point. I had to have a son this time,'' says Mrs. Parekh, 27. She is married to a businessman in Bombay.
``I dreamed of the little boy playing in the mud, of rocking him to sleep. I dreamed that my husband was laughing and tossing the baby in the air.
``He had stopped doing that when our third daughter was born. His indifference to my daughters was palpable - to me even more so.''
One morning, while Parekh was riding the Bombay suburban train to visit her mother, a poster caught her eye. It advertised ``amniocentesis,'' a genetic technique used to determine the condition and sex of an unborn child.
She rushed with her mother to the clinic to get the test. To her delight, her baby was a boy. She felt all her troubles had come to an end.
But what if the fetus had been a girl? Would Parekh have gotten an abortion?
If she had, for some it would have just been considered another statistic in the estimated 78,000 female fetuses aborted in India between 1978 and 1983. Thousands of these abortions were done for sex-discriminatory reasons.
This misuse of genetic testing, ostensibly under the garb of testing for birth defects in the unborn, is now a flourishing business - mainly in northern India, where a daughter's birth may be considered a near-calamity.
Recent protests in the media and by women's and civil rights groups against widespread use of amniocentesis for this purpose has called attention to what some see as a technological aid to female feticide.
It is still essentially an urban phenomenon confined primarily to the middle classes. But amniocentesis clinics are spreading in rural areas, indicating that this discrimination has widespread sociological roots.

New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, | 1 The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: |
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me." | 2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." |
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD . So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD . | 3 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. |
4 The LORD hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up. | 4 Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. |
5 Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep. | 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. |
6 So the captain approached him and said, "How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, call on your god. Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish." | 6 The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish." |
7 Each man said to his mate, "Come, let us cast lots so we may learn on whose account this calamity has struck us." So they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. | 7 Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. |
8 Then they said to him, "Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?" | 8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?" |
9 He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land." | 9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land." |
10 Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, "How could you do this?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD , because he had told them. | 10 This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) |
11 So they said to him, "What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?"-for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. | 11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?" |
12 He said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you." | 12 "Pick me up and throw me into the sea," he replied, "and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you." |
13 However, the men rowed desperately to return to land but they could not, for the sea was becoming even stormier against them. | 13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. |
14 Then they called on the LORD and said, "We earnestly pray, O LORD , do not let us perish on account of this man's life and do not put innocent blood on us; for You, O LORD , have done as You have pleased." | 14 Then they cried to the LORD, "O LORD, please do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased." |
15 So they picked up Jonah, threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging. | 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. |
16 Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. | 16 At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him. |
17 And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. | 17 But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights. |

Jets Players Attend the Mayweather-Cotto Fight
Posted by Erik Manassy on May 6, 2012 in Player Tweets, Twitter Pictures | 0 comments
Tweets during the Mayweather-Cotto fight confirmed that QB Mark Sanchez was at the fight.
Anotinio Cromartie was also as the fight, but we found out via tweets from the player himself and his wife, pictures and all.
Now I didn't watch the fight but judging by how the Jets players were reacting, it must have been a good one. Sione Pouha and other players stayed at their homes to watch the game.
Rookies, in NJ for Rookie min-camp, had to scramble to find a place to watch the game.

Mats Zuccarello Looking For A Long-Term Deal
by Paul on 01/07/15 at 07:48 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Zipay of Newsday,
A restricted free agent, Zuccarello, who had 19 goals and 40 assists in 77 games last season and went 5-8-13 in the playoffs, was scheduled to have an arbitration hearing July 25. But he and the club agreed to a one-year, $3.5-million contract, which makes him an unrestricted free agent this summer.
After Jan. 1, one-year players can sign extensions, but the Rangers are juggling cap space, both currently and long-term. And their pending free agents include six top players: Marc Staal and Martin St. Louis are unrestricted, and Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin, J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast are restricted....
His line, with Derick Brassard and Rick Nash, is "playing against a first line almost every game, so I also take pride in my defensive play," Zuccarello said. "I just try to go out and work hard every night, that's the mindset I have. It wouldn't change if I had a longer deal."
But a multiyear deal is clearly Zuccarello's desire. "I would like them to have faith in me for longer years," he said. "I've had one-year deals for a long time now, so it'd be nice to get some stability."

by George Malik on 07/17/14 at 08:03 PM ET
Comments (15)
This is something of a "choose-your-own adventure" entry. CBS Sports' Chris Peters and SI's Allan Muir tell the story of a Chicago Blachkawks prospect who might get away, someone who deliberately skipped the Hawks' summer development camp, and you can indulge yourself in the New York Post's Larry Brooks' reporting (which served as inspiration for said "adventure") at your leisure.
Muir explains that Blackhawks 2010 draft pick Kevin Hayes, a 6'4" Hobey Baker Award finalist, happens to be property of the Blackhawks until August 16th, when the 65-point-scorer (that's pretty dang great for NCAA Division I hockey) becomes a free agent per, "Player is your property until four months after he graduates" CBA rules, after which time he can signa 2-year entry-level deal with any team...

Rangers influences and Don Cherry's top 5
by George Malik on 06/09/14 at 09:07 PM ET

Prior to tonight's Stanley Cup Final game, Hockey Night in Canada allowed the Rangers' players to share their hockey inspirations, and let's just say that Mats Zuccarello had some fun with the, "My favorite player growing up" line...
And Don Cherry introducing the top 5 prospects for the NHL Draft is something of a tradition as well. The fact that Don didn't lose it when Sam Bennett discussed how much Doug Gilmour means to him was remarkable:

Kings master the rope-a-dope again, win 5-4 in double OT
by George Malik on 06/07/14 at 10:53 PM ET
Comments (2)
That was most certainly intriguing. For the second consecutive game, the Los Angeles Kings surrendered a 2-0 lead; for the second consecutive game, the Kings forced overtime, overcoming both the Rangers' relentless attack and their own defensive mistakes (Willie Mitchell and Matt Greene did not have the best nights in their own end); and for the second consecutive game, the Los Angeles Kings persevered and prevailed, with Dustin Brown tipping Willie Mitchell's shot past Henrik Lundqvist 10:26 into the second OT period.
Los Angeles prevails 5-4, and now the series gets interesting: both teams will have to try to get their players to bed sooner than later as 9 AM Pacific Daylight Time flights are on the Sunday docket, and the teams will play three games in five nights, so we may see the kind of mental fatigue that played into tonight's score leak its way into regulation time action.
Justin Williams had 3 assists, Willie Mitchell had a goal and an assist, and Jonathan Quick stopped 34 shots for LA; Derik Brassard, Mats Zuccarello and Ryan McDonagh had 1-goal-and-1-assist games for the Rangers, Rick Nash had 8 shots, and Henrik Lundqvist (who may or may not have issued a Dustin Brown-style dive at one point--quite a bit of diving in this series!) stopped 39 for New York.

Rangers Have No Plans To Allow Mats Zuccarello To Play In Europe
by Paul on 11/14/11 at 09:12 AM ET
Comments (1)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
There is no out-clause in Mats Zuccarello's contract that would require the Rangers to allow the 24-year-old winger to leave for Europe if he is still a member of the AHL Whale by a certain date, the Norwegian's representatives and general manager Glen Sather told The Post late last week.
And though Craig Oster, one of the winger's agents at Newport Sports, told The Post the subject is likely to be raised with management within the next few weeks if Zuccarello remains in Hartford under his $67,500 AHL contract, Sather doesn't seem to have much interest in obliging.
"Why would we agree to anything like that?" is how Sather phrased it in an email response to the Post's inquiry whether the club would set the Hobbit free. "There's no such agreement."
Zuccarello started this season with the Rangers before being assigned to the Whale after three games, in which he averaged 8:25 of ice time while operating on the club's fourth line and second power-play unit.

NEW YORK (October 7, 2011) – New York Rangers forward Mats Zuccarello has been fined $2,500, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for boarding Los Angeles Kings forward Kyle Clifford in NHL Game #5 on Friday in Stockholm, Sweden, the National Hockey League announced today.
The incident, which occurred 3:05 into the first period, was reviewed by the NHL's Department of Player Safety. The fine was levied for violation of Rule 41.1 – Boarding, of the National Hockey League's Official Rules. A minor penalty for boarding was assessed on the play.

Year: 2010
Country: ITALY
Run Time: 105 minutes
Who wouldn't love a band that raps about their Mammas' omelet sandwiches? These guys dig all things real, including family, friends, and homeland. They're lucky: their homeland is the stunningly beautiful region of Basilicata in the instep of Italy's boot, which stretches from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian Sea. These native sons are a ragtag bunch of charmers: Nicola, a frustrated math teacher whose wife runs a boutique hotel; Rocco, a TV actor whose career has seen better days; Salvatore, who ditched his medical studies in their final hour; and Franco the bass player, mute since the death of his lover. Outfitted with a horse and cart topped with solar cells, the band undertakes a journey across Basilicata on foot as a publicity stunt leading up to their performance in a local music competition. Accompanying them is Tropea, a reluctant journalist assigned to document their journey. As the little band trudges eastward, they camp out, evade authorities, deal with crazy agents and over-protective brothers, and fall in love again. Spoken word and jazz performances on hillsides and in local villages make BASILICATA COAST TO COAST a funky delight of a road movie. (In Italian with subtitles) B.B.

Panag said that the party will soon take a decision regarding its "involvement" in the student elections.
She said that the party would now start work towards filling the void that the Congress had created.
Polls record votes, becomes first woman MP from city; Bansal doesn't get a lead even in colonies, considered Cong strongholds.
Panag and Raghu were safe, but were reportedly chased away by a group of students when they went to campaign inside the BHU campus.
Phoolka himself was not present with Panag as the party said he had gone to Delhi in connection with a case against Jagdish Tytler regarding the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

AAP candidate Gul Panag assured that she would take the demands of the residents to whichever forum these need to be taken.

NSFW Week: Kevin McCall Talks Foreplay, Threesomes And Bedroom Soundtrack
Choosey Lover
"I'm the choosey type. I'm choosey about who I give my love to. I think it's a special thing. I can't just give it to everybody, and I think that's why I've had good experiences with the people I've been with. I'm private. I keep it on the low, and I really know the people I've been with. But sometimes you gotta live for the moment. Ain't nothing wrong with that. You know how they say 'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?' It ain't just Vegas. [Laughs]"
What A Man Wants
"I really like a woman who's not afraid to tell me what she wants. Sometimes I want a woman to sit back and let me do it. Let me show you something new that you didn't even know you liked. Other times, I like to listen so I know what to do, because it's not about me. When I do my thing, it's about you because I get off on a woman being pleasured. It boosts my ego. So I'm really more about pleasing the other than me getting pleased."
Post-Sex Ritual
"I do the C-walk. That's the 'beat it up right' dance right there. I make her cook me some tacos and clean up. Real Baby Boy with it. You get you some good love-making, you do the 'beat it up right,' dance, you get some tacos, get your house cleaned up. I'm living. [Laughs]"
"Okay, let me get creative with it. Audrey Hepburn because she's sexy. She's a classy woman, and she's iconic as far as fashion. So she's one. And I would need a wild one. So I would go Marilyn Monroe. See, Marilyn was more of the bad girl, so I would need both of those sides to kind of play off each other. [VIBE: What about two women who are actually alive?] Alive? Oh, I can't do that. I can't have a threesome. Do you consider me a celebrity? Then me, myself and I. That's a threesome.

Today's request of Joe Jonas' "slow-burning, synth-aided" song "Just In Love" comes by way of @MyLoveJoeJonas. The track is the second single off of the former Disney star's debut solo album Fastlife. Though we have to say, considering that Joe got to shoot this music video in the romantic streets of Paris pretending canoodling (and bathe) with model Angele, we don't exactly call that living the "fast life". That's living the good life, JJ! Enjoy it!

Editor: Open space is not empty space and is not without value. In Arlington, one of the most densely populated counties in the country, open space is a precious commodity that contributes to the high quality of life.

Our editorial page view on the local scene.
Editor: I am a staunch supporter of John Vihstadt and was delighted to see the support he garnered in the recent election, and have no wish to downplay the role he has played in recent months regarding the Columbia Pike trolley.
Editor: I felt sad after reading the Nov. 27 letter to the editor by Grant Maloney about the streetcar.
Editor: County Board Chairman Jay Fisette proclaims loudly that the decision to eliminate the Columbia Pike and Crystal City streetcar projects is not in the spirit of "the Arlington Way."
Editor: Since Arlington is divided into streets, roads, etc., with "North" and "South" designations, one can assume that the debate between North and South Arlington regarding the streetcar draws its line in the same place the county does, along Arlington Boulevard.
Editor: We, the undersigned, are members of Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 557 (Arlington) and the "Founding Farmers" of the Thomas Jefferson Middle School Garden ("TJ Garden"). We started the TJ Garden in 2010 for our Girl Scout Silver Award project when we were a Cadette troop at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

Editor: This letter responds to two recent Sun Gazette articles: "Columbia Pike streetcar Project, Baileys Crossroads Revitalization Could Be in Peril" and "Fairfax Officials Vow to Press on With Revitalization of Baileys/Skyline."
Editor: I wanted to tear my hair out while reading Grant Maloney's letter in the Nov. 27 edition, in which he blamed the streetcar outcome on the divide between North Arlington and South Arlington.
Editor: In the aftermath of the streetcar's cancellation, I am really disappointed in the reactions of the supporters.
Editor: I am disappointed to see so many references to the streetcar decision expressed as a "North Arlington vs. South Arlington" choice. I have lived in both North and South Arlington over the past 48 years, and I don't recall any issue being described in this manner.
Editor: In the streetcar kerfuffle, have trackless trolleys been considered as a compromise?
Someday, the full story behind the change of heart on the Columbia Pike and Crystal City streetcar projects by County Board members Jay Fisette and Mary Hynes may come to light.

It's OK to build more parking spaces and parking garages and service stations, but not streetcars? It's OK to build bus-rapid transit through Crystal City, but not streetcars? It's OK to widen streets and build new roads, but not to build streetcars?
Editor: A big high-five to our County Board for the decision to cancel the streetcar project. I hope this is a turning point in how our elected officials will proceed in managing their wants and Arlingtonians' needs.
Editor: Now that the Columbia Pike streetcar idea is gone, who would like to join me in channeling the streetcar energy into doing a better job and put a Metro Line under Columbia Pike, like we should have done 20 years ago?
Editor: So the streetcar is dead. What comes next?
Editor: Did the Big Three on the County Board change their mind on the streetcar because it was the correct decision, or are they more concerned with job security? I suspect it's the latter.
Editor: A few weeks ago, when the weather was nice, I went to shoot some hoops at a park near my house. While I was making shots, I took my wallet out and left it on the side of the basketball court. I left forgetting about my wallet until two hours later, when I promptly rushed back to the park.
It was nowhere to be found, and I walked home upset with myself for the
Editor: Rather than try to solve each challenge facing Arlington as a separate issue, the County Board should take a look at the underlying cause for all of the difficult demands made on them.
Editor: I consider myself an almost native of Arlington County, since I've lived here since I was 6 months old. I've been reading in the Sun Gazette about pros and cons on the proposed trolley and the proposed super-swimming complex at Long Bridge Park.
Editor: I live near the popular new Rocky Run Park at Fairfax Drive and North Barton Street. A four-way stop sign is needed, as is a better fence to confine the young children.
Editor: After years of discussion, planning and investment, Arlington's streetcar projects have been brought to a screeching halt by Vihstadt's victory.
Editor: Community attention has been directed at the H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program's size and instructional model during the current process to relieve middle school overcrowding.
Editor: Did "a proud H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program graduate and engaged Arlington Public Schools parent" really say, in a recent letter to the editor, that H-B has "traditionally struggled to prove itself"?
Our editorial page view on the local scene.
Editor: As a parent of a student who had hoped to attend H-B Woodlawn Secondary program as a ninth-grader but was put on the waiting list at No. 71 (read: "no chance"), I feel that I need to address a comment by Mary Byrne which was published in a recent Sun Gazette.
Editor: Arlington likes to tout itself as a progressive community concerned about sustainability. But any measures Arlington takes toward becoming more sustainable are absolutely futile unless the county decides to realistically address Arlington's housing crisis – I am referring to the nature of new construction undertaken in Arlington in the last decade, specifically, the nature of the single-family homes being built.
Editor: We cannot allow the School Board's bad planning to waste taxpayer dollars.
Editor: As elected representatives of our community, the County Board and School Board have the duty to act responsibly with our tax dollars. They did this when they created the new Reed School-Westover Branch Library in 2009.
Editor: As a Long Branch Elementary School parent who would see my own children and neighbors currently in a walk zone to Thomas Thomas Jefferson Middle School bused to a middle school on the Wilson School site, I strongly disagree with your recent editorial endorsing a Wilson school.

The Boys and Girls Clubs took over the football program in August 1996. One young player showed up for the first practice with a loaded pistol. At the second practice, when a coach scolded one of his players, a gang of young men watching from the sidelines stormed the field and physically attacked him. The park adopted the colors and nickname of the champion Northwestern Bulls. Not one Gwen Cherry team made the playoffs.
This year coaches and parents sport yellow T-shirts emblazoned with the team's new slogan: "From the bottom to the top, don't miss the climb, Gwen Cherry football."
Now, as the 80s prepare to storm the field after finishing their breakdowns, Charlie Brown pulls Coach Dre aside. Even though the Jaguars are here, the referees have already left. It's too late now to get a new crew, so Inner City must -- officially, this time -- forfeit. The Jaguars head coach explains that his administrator misread the schedule and wrote down the wrong starting time for the game. The administrator: Anthony Dawkins.
The play is a halfback pass. Keith Holmes is in at quarterback, Frankie Adams at halfback. For this practice drill, there are no defenders. "Hut one, hut two," barks Keith. "Hike!" As two wide receivers sprint down the sideline, Keith drops back two steps, turns, and hands the ball to the tiny halfback. Frankie carries it five yards toward the sideline, plants his foot, cocks his right arm, and throws.
"WHOOOOoooooooooeeee!" A whistle erupts in unison from three teenage spectators as the ball sails over their heads, the WHOOOO commencing the moment the ball leaves Frankie's fingertips, the last of the eeees sounding as the tight spiral lands perfectly in Sammie Bush's arms, 45 yards down the field. "That git can throw!"
It's an amazing sight, Frankie throwing a football. It doesn't seem physically possible that a boy only 43 inches tall, encumbered by shoulder and elbow pads and a helmet looking as big as an apple crate, can chuck a ball so far. Yet he does, every time, effortlessly. Not only can he throw the ball, he can also kick accurate field goals of 35 yards, making him -- at age ten -- the only kicker in the entire park. Thanks to Frankie, the Bulls are the only team in their league that regularly kicks for an extra two points after touchdowns (which owing to their difficulty at this level are worth twice as much as a running play).
But it's the throwing that dazzles the sideline gits at this practice, one of the few that Frankie attends. When asked why Frankie isn't the team's regular quarterback, defensive coordinator Anthony Snelling twirls a finger around his ear. "That boy be messed up in the head," Snelling declares. "He's got all the talent in the world, all the talent in the world, yet he'd rather play on the train tracks with his boys than play with the real men over here. Ain't that right, Frankie?"
Frankie finds himself in constant trouble at school, where he often fails to complete his homework and acts up in class. "He's screwing up," declares Coach Streeter, who frequently visits his players' schools to check on their academic progress. Frankie's file at Lillie C. Evans Elementary is crammed with disciplinary reports. One of his fifth-grade teachers tells Streeter that it's the boy's boundless energy that gets him into so much trouble. He's a good-humored, smart kid, reports the teacher, but he needs to be less disruptive in the classroom.
Three out of every four children in the Scott Homes are raised by a single parent, usually a mother, says the Boys and Girls Clubs' Daron Chiverton. He believes that age eleven is the cutoff, the time when kids choose to work within the system or to reject it. This dismal vision, that Frankie is on the cusp of doom at age ten, is shared by many Bulls coaches.
"Society says you're a man when you turn eighteen," observes defensive line coach Gary Robinson. "But in real life, rites of passage come much earlier than eighteen. Especially for some of the kids in the Scott Homes. Many of them are the man of the house at age twelve or thirteen. Their parents might be at work, so they have to work in the house helping to raise their brothers and sisters. And some of them can't handle that."
Robinson scans the practice field, where Frankie continues to uncork bombs. "Hopefully none of them will fail in life, but if I had to tell you realistically, and generously, only maybe 30 percent will turn out to be full successes. The other 70 percent? Realistically? Forget about it."
Despite his talents, Frankie plays sparingly on game days. With the exception of kickoffs and extra points, he whiles away most quarters on the bench, absently flipping his kicking tee. In close games Coach Dre itches to insert his secret weapon to drop one of those bombs on the other team's unsuspecting defense. Sometimes he gets to, when Frankie has shown up for practice and stayed out of trouble in school. Usually he does not. "My wife [a teacher at Frankie's school] comes home every day telling me, 'Ain't no way that boy should be playing this Saturday. Ain't no way!'"

What is the water to grain ratio I should be using for my mash? I usually use 2L for ever 1 pound of grain would that work out?
I typically use 1.25 qts/lb of grain.
Figuring a quart and a liter are about the same, a stiff mash is about 1 qt/lb which I use on most bigger beers due to mash tun space. On a smaller beer I'll do 1.5 qts/lb. 2qt/lb, which you are doing is a thinner mash but can work. I wouldn't go any thinner, though.
cool thanks for the info maybe I'll drop it down a little since I find I gotta minimize the amount of grain I can use based on the size of my gear
With an all barley beer you can use a thicker mash like 1qt/lb. If you have lots of wheat or adjuncts then a thicker mash is necessary. I have *heard* but never verified that a thinner mash yields a more fermentable beer. Perhaps a more seasoned AG brewer can chime in...

Sisterhood, Service, and Sacrifice
Ginger Miller is being honored as a Champion of Change for her efforts as a woman veteran.
In the early 90's after a medical discharge from the Navy, I became homeless, along with my husband who is a disabled veteran and our young son. The sad part is, I didn't know I was homeless; I thought I was simply surviving. To make ends meet, I worked three jobs while going to school full time. This was a time in my life that I isolated myself from my peers. I was ashamed to ask for help because, honestly, I did not know help was available, and the sense of pride I felt while in the military was diminished.
After suffering in silence for more than a decade due to my husband's untreated Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I finally spoke up by creating John 14:2, Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting homeless and at risk veterans. My thoughts were that, if it happened to me, there have to be thousands more just like me who are suffering in silence, homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Two years after the inception of John 14:2, I felt like there was something missing. I got up at three o'clock one morning and looked in the mirror. The person I saw was Ginger Miller, Woman Veteran; Ginger Miller, Former Homeless Veteran; Ginger Miller, Disabled Veteran. Then a light went on. It became crystal clear to me that I needed to do something specifically for women veterans, and I did just that.
As a woman veteran, I recognize the call to sisterhood, service, and sacrifice and this is why I started Women Veterans Interactive (WVI), which meets Women Veterans at their points of need. WVI is an organization for women veterans by women veterans, willing to roll our sleeves up to assist our sister veterans, ensuring that we never leave one behind. If a women veteran is homeless, in need of a mentor or support services, or looking for a great way to get involved in community outreach, we can meet those needs. We support women veterans through Advocacy, Empowerment, Interaction, Outreach, and Unification (AEIOU), with Outreach being my biggest priority for the organization.
Women Veterans Interactive (WVI) has programs and events designed specifically for woman veterans, including our Empowerment and Unification Lunch Cruises that give women the opportunity to have peer-to-peer interaction, food, and fun while enjoying nautical views. Most importantly, these cruises are a time for them to find out about the services and benefits available to them in an effort to break down the barriers that lead to homelessness. Our first year, we had over 600 woman veterans participate and held the event in both Maryland and New York. Other programs we hold include our Women Veterans Financial Literacy Program and our Women Veterans Breakfast Series. Topics for the breakfast series are include "The Great Transition and Benefits," "Homelessness," "Education and Employment," and "Mentorship." In addition WVI provides Turkey Baskets, Christmas Toys, winter coats, referrals for housing and employment, and rental assistance.
To see the look and feel the appreciation and relief flowing from a woman veteran's heart when she comes to pick up food to feed her children for Thanksgiving, or to hear a woman veteran say, "Thank you Ms. Ginger, now me and my babies can have Thanksgiving Dinner," is simply priceless.
Recently, there was a woman veteran who came to pick up food for Thanksgiving who looked familiar to me. I realized that this was one of the women who lived in a transitional facility that WVI went to visit. This particular woman had moved into permanent housing during the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we provided her with Thanksgiving Dinner for her and her son, whom she just regained custody of.
As a compassionate servant and leader, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to serve at various state and county levels on the Maryland Commission for Women, the Maryland Caregivers Support Coordinating Council, the Maryland Veterans Resilience Initiative, and as Chairwoman of the Prince George's County Veterans Commission.
When people ask what drives me, I just simply say I remember feeling lonely, depressed, scared, and ashamed, and I remember being homeless and not having enough food to eat. I remember the transition, the struggle…I remember being these women.
Ginger Miller is the Founder and CEO of Women Veterans Interactive.

Interestings pictures and
Interestings pictures and information about,how to make a Footboard bench. Realy like this post
I'd been wanting to add a piece of furniture at the end of my son's bed for awhile, but I had a difficult time deciding on what exactly to do. Not only did I want it to be something he could sit on, but also I wanted to add some extra storage. We had thought of a trunk but the idea of little fingers getting pinched made that idea a little scary. I turned to your website for help. I didn't find exactly what I wanted, but I did get some inspiration from the new Kentwood Bookshelf. It's constructed the same way but with some sizing adjustments.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
2 - 8 ft 1x2
3 - 8 ft 2x2
6 - 8 ft 1x3
1 - 6 ft 1x12
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
6 - 1x3 @ 37"
5 - 1x3 @ 32 3/4"
1 - 1x2 @ 32 3/4"
9 - 1x2 @ 11 1/4"
4 - 2x2 @ 32 3/4"
1 - 2x2 @ 11 1/4"
4 - 2x2 @ 17"
2 - 1x12 @ 17"
Nail two 11 1/4" 1x2's to the face of each of the 1x12's, one on the top and one on the bottom end. These will become the two sides of the bench.
Using a Kreg Jig, create pocket holes in the back of the 1x12.
Attach two 17" 2x2's to the sides of each of the 1x12's using screws and the pocket holes. The 2x2's should be flush with the 1x2 trim as shown below.
Attach your 32 3/4" 2x2 to each corner, creating the bones for the bench. I again used my Kreg Jig to create pocket holes on each end of the boards.
Attach an 11 1/4" 1x2, centered between the lower rails (to support the middle of the base/shelf).
Attach the 11 1/4" 2x2 in between the top two 2x2's. Also attach two 11 1/4" 1x2's evenly spaced between the center 2x2 and either end of the bench (the bench is tilted forward in this picture).
Attach two 11 1/4 1x2's to the inside bottom of the 1x12. This will help support the planks on the bottom shelf/base.
Attach five 32 3/4" 1x3's and one 32 3/4" 1x2 to the base of the bench. I put the 1x2 in the front.
Attach six 37" 1x3's to the top. Start from the back and work your way to the front. The back board should be flush with the back of the bench. This will allow for a lip on the front of the bench.
You could leave it as is; it is certainly sturdy enough, but I wanted to add a back. I still had some leftover 1 1/2" x 1/4" wood planks. In order to create an even spacing, I used a small finishing nail to hold the space as I fastened the planks.

hello there
Lanie replied on Permalink
Thinking of adapting for a window seat, but will probably use bead board for the back, and solid planks for the seat and shelf.... but I enjoyed seeing the play by play! Thanks!
I'm assuming where it keeps saying 2x2's this is reallly supposed to be 4x4?
Stephen Peters replied on Permalink
2 x 2 is correct.

Last spring I was given 8 sheep from a person who could no longer afford to feed or care for them. These sheep were thin, long over due to be shorn, long toes in need of general care that my sheep receive on a scheduled basis. After a month in a quartine area, with all the food they could possible want to eat and a clean bill of health, I let them in with the rest of the flock. It was the normal who are you routine. They spent the summer grazing on green grass hills with the rest of my flock, and my livestock guardian dogs and llamas for protection. Life is good.
No animal ever gets over worrying about their food even when it's in front of them. These eight girls are no exception. Now that fall is here, the grass is brown and they need to go farther out in pasture for food, the old fears have returned. In fact it has shown up in some rather interesting sheep behavior.
I have watched them dig under my fence, jump my fence, squeeze their pudgy bodies though breaks between buildings and fencing and just show up. They like to show up in my front yard, do a quick tour around the house, like they may have missed something from yesterday's tour. They hike down my driveway and eat the grass between the gravel road and fence. Once that tour is over they wait for me at the gate to be let back into their corral.
All my sheep are good natured, friendly, safe to be around (except the rams, they are never safe) and generally happy free ranging girls. Most have names, some are retired 4-H show sheep, some I have purchased, some are daughters and some given to me. I try and follow the National Organic Program policies on animal welfare and attend animal husbandry conferences when I can. I want my sheep to have a good life. Catherine

The FJ Cruiser isn't nearly as fun as a Jeep Wrangler, but it can still be quite enjoyable. On my commutes to and from the office, I took a gravel-road detour where I found some pretty big mud puddles. Yes, I enjoyed getting the FJ prepped for a possible photo shoot.
Dirt and grime, however, can't cover up the fact that the FJ has sloppy steering, a rough ride, poor body control, terrible outward visibility, and little usable cargo space. Worse yet, you can't comfortably drive with the windows open at speeds of more than 30 mph or so, lest you get blasted in the ear with wind. Whereas all Jeep Wranglers offer multiple options for open-roof driving, the new-age FJ offers none. This is a travesty, as we pointed out when we told the final story of our Four Seasons FJ Cruiser.
Bead-lock wheels?! I was excited when I first saw these on the FJ, but in fact they're fakes, and Toyota calls them "beadlock-style." You'd think they'd be real for the $6700 price of the Trail Teams option package.

First things first; I have a love/hate relationship with this product, but that is simply my own fault, not the foundation's. I suffer from combo skin and localized breakouts and some weeks this will aggitate them, and some weeks it won't - however, when my skin is doing well this foundation is VERY hard to beat.
It makes my face glow without looking shiny, gives a nice medium/full coverage and I ALWAYS get compliments on my face whenever I wear it. Yes - It does need a very light dusting of powder to set (I use the MUF HD powder), but then I find it lasts all day for me. It doesn't cling to my dry spots, or accentuate my breakouts (although sometimes I do have to use a small amount of concealer over the top).
Overall, if applied with a big rounded buffing brush (such as Louise Young's) the resulting look is amazing. Yes, it takes some TLC to get the desired look, but it's totally worth it. If you spend the time buffing this foundation on, and set it correctly, it will look incredible!
The only reason I did not rate this 5/5 is because of the traditional Chanel heavy glass packaging. Yes, the pump is brilliant, but the bottle weighs a ton!

Really like this foundation. I always get compliments on my skin when I wear it. I found that it goes on much better with moisturizer on under it, even though it is moisturizing on it's own. If I skip that step it does not apply as well and does not cover as evenly. To finish I lightly dust on Guerlain Meteorites. Alas it does rub off on things like your phone and does not have as many shades as I would like, but is still a very nice foundation.
I wanted to love this, however was incredibly underwhelmed. After a year of admiring Samantha Chapman's (pixiwoo) beautiful glowing skin I decided to just go ahead and get it. I got it in the shade 20 Claire and was a touch too dark on me (will never guesstimate a foundation shade online again) I didn't like the overall feel of this foundation. Looked lovely, but just felt greasy, wet and heavy. Felt like my face was melting! I've tried using a few different types of brushes and application techniques but just couldn't stand the wet feel. I tried powdering, but just took away the glow that I wanted. Love this foundation on other ladies but just couldn't get past the feel. Would reccommend if you aren't sensitive to a very duey face.
I wanted to capture the dewy look that one of the artists on the Youtube channel, "Pixiwoo" had created for her "Everyday Makeup" video. She had used Chanel "Prolumiere" foundation but since that's been discontinued, that wasn't an option. I went to the Chanel counter and requested their best foundation for that "lit from within" glow. This product was recommended and I was matched up with the Ivory shade. This foundation was nothing spectacular. I certainly didn't have that dewy, youthful look I was going for and when you are charging $55.00 for a foundation, I would expect something better than just average. This one goes in the category of nothing special for me so I returned it. Thumbs down on this one.
Vitalumiere is just what the doctor ordered. I usually have combination skin but lately it's been dry due to enviornmental factors.
Shade: After viewing online, I was interested in either 30 Cendre or 40 Beige. The SA said I could go either way but the 40 was a bit too dark but seemed to cover my redness more. Also, I have to blend 40 in more to make it work. I settled on 30 and it's the perfect shade for my oddball skintone. I have olive skin with red and brown tones. For reference, I'm 30 in Dior and NC40 in MAC. I actually find Chanel 30 a very good match, it just blended right into my skin and along my jawline.
Application: After viewing some bloggers, some say this works better w/ a brush. I beg to differ. When using my fave foundation brush, I felt that the foundation was too moisturizing and it just swished it around leaving streaks. I find that when I use my fingers, it blended in much better. Also, I feel that you really need to work in this foundation and blend like crazy with soft gentle downward strokes to get a nice even canvas. If you blend in circles, you will allow the foundation to cling on to any dry patches.
Finish: Vitalumiere pinned the tail on the donkey! This is actally what I was looking for in a dewy natural light foundation. This does contain "light reflecting properties" and what I do to tone that down a bit is lightly dust MUFE HD loose powder over Vitalumiere and it creates a soft effect and eliminates shine. In comparison to my other "dewy" foundation (Diorskin Nude Hydrating Foundation), I find that Vitalumiere works better and is more moisturizing for me during the winter months. I use Diorskin Nude when my skin leans more combo and not as dry. Also, Diorskin Nude doesn't have "light reflecting properties" there is a dew to it but it's not as moist or glowy as Vitalumiere. Also, Diorskin Nude has more of a medium coverage and Vitalumiere is more light and can be built up to somewhat of a medium but you will still need concealer on trouble spots. I love Vitalumiere for my everyday foundation, it feels so luxorious on the skin and it gives light nautral finish.
Price: It's Chanel so it's expensive. It retails for $55 plus tax (US).

I have combination skin but recently its been so dry that this foundation has been a god send. I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in the maldives and got the shade 50 natural, which is a little on the orange-ish side, but the 40 is too light really i think i need to mix them both but cannot be bothered to buy 2 foundations...I love the glowy-dewy finish, i love how easily this glides on like silk it takes me half the time to apply this over my laura mercier silk creme foundation. It does get a little shiny through out the day but its a glowy kind of foundation so that will happen. I just powder a tiny amount down my nose and slightly on forehead and use oil blotting sheets from mac too. Coverage isnt full- but its great in the way you can layer it and it still looks great- you cant do that with many foundations. Thta way you can build up to a medium-full coverage. im usually nc35ish but now i think a bit more nc37 in mac. One bad thing thats so annoying is the cap keeps coming off it literally wont stay on the bottle and then my make up bag or hand bag just gets covered in foundation...
used this foundation once, and it's nothing special for me. it gives a light build able to medium coverage and gives me a satin finish. It didn't give me a illuminated or glowy look that it said it would and honestly isn't very interesting. the price is not a surprise cause it is Chanel. but I prefer the Dior ones over this one anytime
Have bought this over and over - every time I think of straying to another foundation, someone tells me that my skin looks great when I'm wearing this one. It's perfect for me as far as consistency goes: light coverage, super dewy, really moisturizing for my dry skin. It feels absolutely disgusting when you first put it on, but after a couple of minutes it melds perfectly to natural skin texture and is so soft and soothing. Sometimes it sticks a little to extremely dry/peeling skin, so exfoliate first and then let it do the job of moisturizing for you. :)
I just slap it on with my hands over moisturizer (right now it's Hope in a Jar, which I thought might be too heavy but actually works well with Vitalumiere) and then lightly add concealer (MAC Moisturecover or that Olay+Covergirl swirly one) if I want to cover my freckles or if I have dark circles. I powder through the center of my face, SUPER lightly, with Chanel loose powder to cut the nose shine and set my concealer. I find that letting the foundation sink in a bit before adding more stuff on top of it is the key to its looking flawless.
If you have breakouts/oily skin/want lots of coverage, though, you'd be better off applying straight Crisco to your face - there's no way this stuff provides any kind of oil relief and will probably only last like an hour. :( Even with my really dry skin, it can feel like too much "dew" if I overdo it on the moisturizer.
However, if it works for you, you'll definitely get some compliments on your skin!

The smell is okay. Application is sheer, smooth and dewy. Its got a variety shades of color (mine is claire). It cost me 78 dollars which is probably about the same price as MUFE. It last no more than 4 or 5 hours and the cap of the foundation is kinda flimsy. I wouldnt buy this again because of the staying power but its okay.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/14/2014 -- Some of the best learning tools are those that teach by example, and that's exactly what "Jazz Guitar Video Masterclass Volume 1" does. Music teacher, jazz recording artist, performer and professional jazz player Chris Standring's revolutionary new 2-part video series on jazz guitar playing uses practical examples that students can watch, listen to and then emulate. This "watch and learn" technique has been proven to be the most effective way to teach, and students of the jazz guitar now have access to it!
For music lovers that have mastered the fundamentals of playing the guitar, but feel they just aren't moving any further along, "Jazz Guitar Video Masterclass Volume 1" offers the most effective and affordable alternate to learning how to play jazz.

The entire course has been carefully structured in two logical parts that provide the building blocks of jazz guitar playing, and culminate with an on-camera demonstration of how to use those building blocks effectively. Here's what's included:
- Lesson 1: Warm Up Exercises
- Lesson 2: Building Vocabulary Part 1
- Lesson 3: Building Vocabulary Part 2

- Lesson 6: Have You Met Miss Jones
- Lesson 7: That's What I Thought You Said
- Lesson 8: Sunrise
- Lesson 9: All The Things You Are
- Lesson 10: How Insensitive
- Lesson 11: Nightingale's Bridge
What's unique about "Jazz Guitar Video Masterclass Volume 1" is the fact that every single note performed by the instructor on camera appears transcribed at the bottom of each video. This gives students the ability to not only watch and listen while the instructor demonstrates, but to also follow along while reading the transcript.
The use of the latest in video and audio technology, including high speed streaming video and amazingly clear flash audio makes the entire course that much more compelling. Convenient interactivity, where students can simply click on links provided throughout the course to watch and listen to the instructions on screen before attempting a practice session, makes the course even more engaging that conventional teaching techniques.
Today's Press Release also announces two great Bonus offerings for students that wish to benefit from this amazing video tutorial. For a limited time, the creator of "Jazz Guitar Masterclass Volume 1" is offering:
- Bonus #1 Guitar Made Simple Chord Finder
- Bonus #2 Guitar Made Simple program with each course!
Combined with these bonuses and a 100% course cost and shipping fee refund guarantee, "Jazz Guitar Video Masterclass Volume 1" is the most practical way for jazz guitar students to jazz up their playing abilities in the shortest possible time - guaranteed!
About Chris Standring

I just completed my 2nd batch of beer and I've had the same problem both times. I have used 5 individual US Gallons of water. (I bought the first time and saved the jugs b/c my RO system doesn't have a large tank) Each time I boiled with 3 gallons and had 2 gallons of cold water in the carboy. When I pour the wort into the carboy, I have had about 1/2 a gallon left of wort that won't fit. Did I get a 4.5 gal carboy, or does all the other ingredients add to it? Do I need to get a larger carboy and keep this one as a secondary???
That seems odd - usually you lose some volume to the boil. What kind of carboy are you using for your primary? Just a 5 gallon? You should really have a 6.5
Get a 6.5 gallon carboy (or a bucket, or a better bottle), and use the 5 for secondary. Doesn't sound like you are getting much evaporation; how vigorous is your boil? In any case, I like to shoot for 5.5 gallons going into the primary, since I will inevitably lose a half gallon to the trub when I rack to secondary. A 5 gallon carboy doesn't give you a lot of room for an active fermentation, anyway.
The water jugs will have over a 1 gallon capicity if they ar sold with 1 gallon and you have the volume of the malt to add to it as well plus maybe a 4% increase in volume on heating.
If you are using LME it adds about a quart of volume per 3 lbs.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
